Week 16

Today is Mom's birthday. She said she's feeling a good bit better today. She thinks all the anestheia chemicals are finally out of her system. She liked her Nintendo DS, of course I forgot to take the camera to record her opening it for posterity... but she likes it anyway. She said it's hard to use with one hand, but she can still play the games that just need vocal imput.

Bogdacious was fabulous fun. It rained buckets, and there was no fighting, but lots of drinking and good company. We actually ate feast and got pelted by feast crossbows loaded with little marshmallows (her highness has no poker face). There was an auction using "Bog Bucks" after feast that was a ton of fun. I bought a bottle of bourbon, but didn't get the leather strips that Uric wanted (they went from craft supply to sex toy... then the price went thru the roof).

This weekend is Coronation down at the Utica Jewish camp. We are camping because the weather is supposed to be lovely.

Reading: Orchid Beach by Stuart Woods. Murder mystery author recommended by Coach McNickle. Its a pretty easy quick read.

Went to the Starkville Quilt guild meeting on Tuesday. Funnily enough the lady at whom's garage sale I bought the quilt frame was there. We had a pretty good laugh about that. The project was tiny paper pieced quilt jewelry. I made one by hand, it seemed to work pretty well. So I may make a few more. Gonna try to make earrings, they were making pins.

I picked up about 8 issues of Budget Travel magazine from the thrift shop and have been really enjoying reading through them picking out good tips for our London trip. We are for sure going regardless of the price!

My roses in the backyard are beautiful... The white one is just full of blooms and is putting up suckers with a vengence. The pink one is sprawling all over the place, and at least occasionally growing down and over the fence like I want (It bites though).
